I am a grateful fan of Ms. Rowling and of her overwhelming Byronic Character, Severus Snape! Please check out the first chapters of each fic (except for "How Can I Tell You," which is on Chapter 2) to see pictures of the Heroines.
Admins' Note: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.
Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

Seriously, you rock!! Keep up the momentum and please please, no 300 million word OMAGE to Dumbles to explain everything like Deathly Hallows. Seriously, I could have done without!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I promise, there will be NO homage for DD. Hermione will finally see him for what he truly was. She will have to deal with a lot of anger and pain about what DD did to her and her marriage.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I'm so glad the chapter is finally up. I've been desperated to know how the story would develop!It's terrible to see Hermione so alone and having nowhere to go while pregnant and in so much danger. I really hope she and Serena will be alright! ^^(Also waiting for some news of Severus!)Looking forward to the next update! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Sorry, there has been a change in who is doing the beta work for the last chapters. We won't have much news from Severus since this is Hermione's POV, but once reconciled, we will hear how much he suffered.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
her parents =( i blame harry!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, Harry has his load to share of the blame. I still place that on Voldy. There will be a lot to blame Harry for later.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from Lioness Rampant (Reviewer)
yeah but if she hadn't been on house arrest at hogwarts - she could have gotten her parents to a safer location... so it goes back to harry - then back to dumbledore - then yeah - it's a vicious cycle - but i love this story lmfao =)
This was not at all how I expected things to go, although I'm not sure exactly what I did expect. But, I liked this. With all of the hormones, on top of being a prisoner who is suddenly free, but with nowhere to go, and then the death of her parents, she must be a wreck. But as much as I think I should feel hopeless, the fact that she has money, and Andromeda, and Mrs. Fitzsimmons to fall back on, I think she ought to be able to find somewhere obscure to hide out. Nothing will help the fact that she misses her husband, but she will endure; she always does. And while the baby will make things hard for her physically, I think Serena will become her constant companion, her reason to keep going, and her link to Severus.This has been such a fantastic read, and when it concludes will be like the end of an era. But I am anxious for our happy ending. Surely we won't go through eight more chapters of doom and gloom before we get to the happy part. I'd like to ease into it a bit... soon.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, not SOON... but enough for our couple to be reunited on their terms. There is a lot still to come,. The next chapter will answer a lot of questions about Hermione finding a safe haven.Thanks so much for your compliments! And also for reviewing :)Livvy
I'm so afraid for Hermione. Pregnant, all alone, and on the run, she really has a difficult road ahead of her. I was shocked that her parents had been killed and their home burned to the ground. What a horrible shock right on the heels of having to escape Hogwarts so quickly because the Dark Lord had taken over the MOM and would soon be taking over the school. Perhaps it is small consolation, but at least she has the money her parents left her... but she has no way to get to it at the moment.Seeing her parent's neighbor was a God-send. I'm glad that she was able to get a decent meal and to be able to talk a bit with her (even if she couldn't be completely honest with her).Now she has some difficult decisions to make. I'm looking forward to your next update! Great story, Livvy.Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione will be in various states of shock from now until she is reunited with Severus. More distance and pain, but she will have her say and will be with her husband on her own terms.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Poor Hermione. She has no time to grieve for her parents. Her first thought was that she had money. That's an awful way to have to accept your parents' deaths. I would seriously recommend some pre-natal vitamins for her though. Scavenged food can't have all the proper nutrients for a growing fetus. I love how she reads to Serena; it must be very peaceful amongst all the chaos. I hate countdowns to the last chapters. They feel like a doomsday or something. It's depressing when your favorite WIP's end. Well, I guess if still have 9 more chapters, right? I shall certainly enjoy them as they come.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Serena is Hermione's first thought. SHe wants to make sure her baby stays healthy. She will do all she can. The next chapter will discuss all of that.I know, it is so sad to see this fic I wrote two years ago now coming to an end. I hope everyone will be happy with the ending I wrote.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Wow...Hermione really is having a time of it. First she is arrested, then she is kept in isolation, and now her parents are dead? How much more angst can one girl handle?? As for Harry, I have always considered him a right prat. I agree with the other poster that most people overlook his true pettiness, etc because he IS the main character. As a secondary in this story, I think you have him nailed. I have read SO many stories where Hermione, and to a point Severus also, let the things he says and does slide...I really hope he gets what he deserves this time. Looking forward to the next update!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione will not Harry get away with the damage he has done and will do to her life and Severus'. He will have a day of reckoning which killing Voldy wouldn't absolve him.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from sandlapper (Reviewer)
Bring on the angstfest!! I can't wait til the next update...and here's to Harry getting everything he deserves. After defeating the Dark Lord, of course. Wouldn't do to have a lunatic megalomaniac interrupting our righteously peeved Bookworm!!
Poor Hermione now she really is alone. Goodness you sure know how to keep a reader on the edge of their seats! Keep up the great work I can't wait to read more.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The next chapter will explain more about Hermione predicament.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh my what a predicament. I am so scared for her and for Severus.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, this is indeed a very terrible and dire situation. The next chapter will answer a lot of questions about what Hermione will plan to do.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
EXCELLENT!!!!!!I look forward to future chapters....10+++++
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hi!Nice to see you here at TPP! It may take longer now to get the last nine chapters up. I have to wait through the queue, so it takes about a week.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
If I were Snape, I would have used sectumsempra to carve "RAPIST" onto Sirius' forehead, backwards. So he could always read it when he looked into a mirror.
AMAZING story, btw.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Very good! That would be something Snape would consider doing.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I'm so nervous that what harry is going to do something that will not only hurt hermione but her baby as well. I agree with other people who commented on harry being in character. His attitude is often over looked in the books because the story is about him but since the story has a emphasis on hermione and severus we can see what (blank) he is. I really hate this harry ( you write him and all the characters really well) even if he decides to show remorse later I would not accept it if I was hermione. Please say hermione will be ok.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione will be okay and she and Severus will see each other again. As for Harry (thanks, I think he would act this way) I'm not holding out to much hope fore their relationship to mend.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I wonder how far Harry will make it without her help? I'm assuming you'll have them back together as a team for the end? Excellent chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Harry will have to go on without Hermione. The next chapter will explain why. It is going to be very hard for Hermione here on out.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Aww. It just breaks my heart when Sev and Hermione are unhappy.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I know... it's going to be hard for a while.Thanks,Livvy
The juxtaposition of sensual joy and cruel reality are certainly playing havoc with Hermione's and Severus' relationship. The short time he allowed himself to feel his emotions only served, in the light of the new day, to bring home to him the horror that he must be prepared to carry out. It broke my heart to see him wall himself off from her once more, but the fear of failure to bring down the Dark Lord, must be a terrible taskmaster. I do hope that they will be able to steal a few hours at Easter holidays, but it will be a tricky thing. Once again you've given us a stellar chapter and a look into the bleak world Voldemort has created. Please be kind to our couple. I know there are terrible times ahead, and that they will suffer another separation, but there has to be a spark of hope for people to be able to carry on in the face of such dire circumstances.Well done!Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It was a very emotional chapter. Things are already in motion for the most painful separation they have ever experienced. Neither will know for sure where the other is or how they are fairing. It's going to be very dark for a while.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh, no.... Severus is under tremendous stress, more than Hermione can realize. I hope she figures out how to be with him at Easter despite her work schedule. Hey, she still has to eat and sleep sometimes! Glad to see Ginny working with Hermione. Thanks for updating!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione is better at caring for herself than Severus is. It's really coming down to the wire now. The next chapter is going to be a real shocker. I know, I am evil ;)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
What a rollercoaster of a chapter. Hermione has a great night with Severus - then he pushes her away. She finally has a good start with Harry and his addiction to the book makes him unreasonable. grrr but good writing!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. I couldn't help but think that would have been Severus reaction to Hermione the next morning. He has to mentally ready himself for killing DD. Harry can't let go of the things she told him and the things she held back from telling him. He feels so betrayed.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
so sad for the Snapes. Excellent chapter. I enjoyed the very sweet time between Hermione and Severus. It's a shame he feels the need to push away that vulnerability. I hope eventually he can stop all this role-playing for two manipulative bastards and just enjoy his life.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It was sad he did that to Hermione. He felt to open and vulnerable. He has to put on that mask of lies and pretend he wants to kill DD. That is what they are fighting so hard for - to be free together.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
more!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Coming soon! :)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
My only complaint about this chapter is that it should have been much, much longer :) I was so heartbroken at the morning after, when Severus was so curt with her. I can see how he must be feeling; how hard it is to get a taste of something that you want so badly knowing it will be gone in the next moment. Plus he hates so much to be vulnerable. Hermione is having to be strong for everyone, and it must really be wearing on her. And this is just the beginning, I'm sure. That having been said, you promised me my happy ending (and you can't take it back. I'm sure there is a fanfic rule on that somewhere) so you can pile on all the angst you want. I happen to think the greatness of a happy ending is directly proportional to the amount of angst piled on along the way. Whatever you do though, do it quickly. I'm dying to know what lies ahead!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I dont renege on promises - especially about Happy Endings! It is getting to be nearly unbearable. THe tension is getting to everyone. The next chapter will be very important.You are right. It is for Hermione just the start of heartache to come.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Yea, another update. I am totaly entranced by this story. I really feel for Severus, he is caught between a rock and a hard place. To bad he can't let loose a little more often. Harry needs to get his head out of his ass. He is taking stubborness to a whole new level. I hope he and Hermione work things out.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Harry is just seething with anger over what he sees as Hermione's betrayal of their friendship. Unfortunately, it won't get better. The next chapter will be very important.Thanks!Livvy
yes, indeed. why albania? great update. i'm so glad they had that time together (now i sound like carol burnett!) thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! They deserve every moment they can snatch for themselves. Only too soon will they again be apart.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Well, now she knows.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, although it won't make her feel better about it all. Rough times ahead.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I can't believe it, I some how managed to fall two chapters behind...but it was like two for the price of one tonight... Very exciting stuff. I'm just hanging on to your every word Livvy.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The next chapter will be up before long.Thanks for reviewing,Livvy
I love your spin on things. There are not many more chapters go is there? Things are going to move pretty quickly now, will there be a final battle or will you change it an put your own spin in the ending? Btw the way loved the LEMONS!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
There will be a little more lemons before the big event that flips everything on its ear. Hermione will not be camping with Ron and Harry. It will be the worst separation Severus and Hermione will have ever experienced. There will be a final battle, however, it will be a different experience for Hermione and Severus.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from Nessa (Reviewer)
I can't wait. Hopefully it will be a different ending to how JK decided to end it.
